General advice for those concerned about their battery from the Support FAQ Wiki: Battery health Battery health depends on usage and a variety of other factors. It is normal to see a decrease in battery health by 7-10% per year, resulting in a battery health of 80-85% after 2 years. This number can fluctuate, remain the same, or decrease quickly over a small period and should not cause undue concern. Apple recommend battery replacement when your device falls below 80% battery health if you notice reduced battery life. If it falls below 80% within the first year you may be eligable for a free battery replacement. It fails after your warranty, it's a $69-$89 USD re…

Why can some Apple default apps be able to be deleted, and others not? Why is the iTunes app able to be deleted, if it’s essential? Same thing as Mail. If I delete the Apple Music app or the Apple Mail app, the device gets problems because then I can’t choose the default Mail app or maybe cannot tell Siri to use Spotify as the default music app. I would love to be able to delete all of the default apps, but then I get problems. I don’t know what problems I would get if I ever delete the Reminders app. There are so many third party apps that are better than the default Apple apps, there’s just no question about it. I can’t think of any right now, but they are out the…

Hey folks! I was chatting with my brother over iMessage and had to change to SMS and that’s now the default in the chat for me, I can’t revert. How do I do that? submitted by /u/ghostlovescore14 [link] [comments]

I am preparing for my first marathon and I am looking for the best way to follow a training plan, using my iPhone and Apple Watch. My goal is to find a solution that works 'as natively as possible', meaning ideally only using first-party Apple apps or the least amount of third-party apps. I have checked the Apple Fitness app, but there do not seem to be any training plans available there. Do you have any suggestions or solutions you can recommend which would meet my requirements? submitted by /u/lumla [link] [comments]

[HEADING=1]Help with switching from Android to iOS – Photos, NAS, and Music[/HEADING] Hi everyone, I’m a long-time Android user currently using a Android on Samsung Galaxy S21, Galaxy Watch, Windows, and an iPad 6th gen. I’m considering switching to an iPhone to simplify my life, but I’ve hit a few roadblocks I can’t seem to solve. [HEADING=1]1. Moving photos from iOS to NAS (without Apple Cloud)[/HEADING] I want my photos to stay in a folder structure on my NAS and to be moved, not just copied. I understand that currently iOS blocks third-party apps from accessing photos (that's why there are no apps that have two-way sync, but are limited to backing up an…

I recently switched from Android to iOS, and there’s a feature I really miss from Android that I’m struggling to replicate on my iPhone. On Android, I had a setting enabled where, whenever Spotify was playing media (even in the background), all app notifications were silenced, but calls were still allowed to come through. This feature worked seamlessly and didn’t require any manual toggling. On iOS, I’ve tried using Focus Mode with Shortcuts Automation to achieve the same functionality, but I’ve run into some issues: The Focus mode only activates if Spotify is open, not when it’s playing in the background. I want notifications from all apps to be blocked while Spo…

I moved to an iphone 13 pro max from a cheap motorola a month ago. There are some things I really like about iOS, some things I either don't like or have to get used to and some things I've figured out already, but this one keeps bothering me. I use speech to text conversion a lot but it keeps failing on me. The phone skips first several seconds of what I'm saying, messes up words, inserts word "comma" instead of actual "," and stuff. It sometimes does a thing where it will start adding test after I stop talking and it will take a long time, like 5-10s per word. Do I have to reset it somehow or what? I didn't have such problems with my old phone submitted by /u/Michae…

iOS keeps requesting permission to access my location, even though I consistently click “Always” in the settings. This persistent request continues despite my efforts. Additionally, when I disable location access on my iPhone, the weather and calendar apps on my Apple Watch automatically delete themselves. I urgently need assistance resolving this issue. submitted by /u/CampingTom [link] [comments]

Hi guys. I stopped using iCloud pretty much instantly when I first started using iPhones years ago. I found it confusing trying to back up media to hard drives and delete from phone to free up space and they would reappear or duplicates from iCloud etc. All I am looking for is a simple backup storage for photos/videos. I don't need them downloaded to other devices or sync'd to other devices. Just upload photos/videos and if I delete something from my phone, then delete from cloud too. What options are enabled/disabled (iPhone 13) to accomplish this and what steps should be done when I am saving to laptop? I just did a photo dump from my old phone and simply connected my …

Hi, It's an iPhone 14 Pro in question. I lost my iCloud password and I can't reset it through Find My because I don't have the number anymore. The thing is, I have access to the phone. I know the passcode, I can try removing it from the Settings app, but to no avail. I sent the purchase receipt to Apple, they replied after 3 days that they removed the account from the device and that I have to restore the phone. I restored the phone, it wiped my data, but the account is still on the phone!!! It didn't give me the "Activation Lock" screen, I completed the setup without it asking me for the login, and the device is like new, but the account is still in the Setti…

I’ve been experiencing an issue with my reels and story videos looking washed out in the editing stage. The colors appear faded and dull during the editing stage, even though they look fine in my camera roll before uploading to Instagram. Recording a video directly with the IG camera also appears washed out when editing. Could someone please advise on how to fix this issue? Any help would be appreciated! Thank you! submitted by /u/Sweetsouull [link] [comments]

Hey guys, my iPhones Apple Account doesnt work properly with my Phone number. If People try to invite me to Fitness or Shared albums by Phone number they get a notification that the invite failed. If they invite me by email (connected to Apple Account) I get the invite. But still I dont get the messages they send after workouts. In the settings for iMessage and FaceTime I can see that my Phone number is active why not for Fitness or photos? submitted by /u/lukas_maksim [link] [comments]

The keyboard lag, together with I'd say the keyboard volume bug, are things, that exist for years now when it comes to iOS. People who don't notice it, are usually people who anyway have no clue what's going on when it comes to technology. Which is fine too. However, many notice it and the forums are FULL of it, and every year, when Apple releases new phones, the forums get filled again with those complains and even I am pretty much annoyed by now, since I got myself a new iPhone after using for roughly a year an older android phone from a friend, to see that nothing has changed. So besides some stupid vodoo fixes, such as resetting the dictionary, turining this and…

In Android, I used Brave browser which have built in ad blocker to block YouTube ads. However, in iPhone often times brave browser does not block ads. Does someone have any suggestion of how to block ads of YouTube on IOS? submitted by /u/Haziq12345 [link] [comments]

Hey, quick question. Has anyone else noticed that sometimes, when just casually swiping left and right through your photos, while the photos are opened (so not on the grid view), a left or right swipe gets ignored? It happens more often when I swipe a few times to one side and then to the opposite side. What’s weird is, that I don’t have such problems in other apps. And I also can’t reproduce that on the home screen or anywhere else. I’ve tried to deactivate certain iCloud features, such as keep originals, to see if it makes a difference but it doesn’t. So the main point of this post is to see if I’m alone with that or if others noticed that too? It’s not a…
